How the hell can I pass emissions?
This question is for a 94 pontiac grand-am GT 3.1L. I am failing NOX by .4! I have replaced my cat, o2 sensor, and digital egr. I had a recent tune-up. And still I can't seem to pass freaking emissions! All that crap got me about .8 off my nox. What do I ned to do to pass?

If you haven't try driving around for at least 20 mins before going to the test. This will help clean the engine out a little.

You're probably running too lean, especially with the car warmed up. If you have some wiggle room with the CO and HC, drive that sucker in there as cold as possible to be tested.

I pass the other two test by a ton. It's just NOX that I am failing by .4! Everything else is way low. I am begining to feel like This testing facility is ripping me off! Is there some place I could report them to?
